Based on field data and parametric accelerated life tests (ALT), the mechanical systemlike water-dispensing system in a bottom-mounted freezer (BMF) was redesigned to find out the missing design parameter in the design phase. To carry out parametric ALTs using a force/momentum balance, the simple mechanical loads of the water-dispensing system were analyzed. At the first ALT, the hinge and front corner of dispenser lever were fractured. The failure shapes found experimentally were similar to those of the failed samples in field. Dispenser lever in water-dispensing system was modified as having its fillets and ribs. At the second ALT, the modified dispenser lever also was fractured because of not having enough strength for impact loading at its front corner. The missing design parameters of the dispenser lever were not enough to have corner fillet rounding and rib thickness. After parameter ALTs with corrective action plans, reliability of the newly designed water-dispensing system is assured to have B1 life 10 years with a failure rate of 0.1%/year.
